Jack Mc Namara Field Airport — Crescent City, United States

Jack McNamara Field serves Crescent City on California's rugged, fog-prone far north coast, a small harbor town surrounded by towering redwoods within reach of Redwood National and State Parks. CEC's coastal position brings persistent marine layer fog that regularly complicates scheduling for the small Essential Air Service carriers connecting the town to hub airports farther south. The airport is named for a local aviation pioneer and sits close to the Pacific shoreline that has periodically brought tsunami risk to the area, most notably following the 1964 Alaska earthquake. Fishing, timber, and tourism tied to the ancient redwood groves anchor the surrounding Del Norte County economy that the airport ultimately serves.
